VICTORIA -- The BC Green Party has announced it will not be renewing an accord with the governing NDP when it expires next month.

The deal known as the Co-operation and Responsible Government Accord was intended to stabilize the government with its one-seat majority, while both parties worked on shared goals, but Green leader Emily Lowan says there have been "stalled or undelivered" commitments from the New Democrats.

She says that any decision to call an election rests solely with Premier David Eby and his government.

More coming.
